SAMUEL DE CHAMPLAIN.

SAMUEL DE CHAMPLAIN is looking at me in the picture above. He seems very mature and ancient. I guest he was maybe around 50 years old. He may had a lot of experiences and know how to control people very much. Success must love him and always meet him. He might be famous and ran honors for his country.

Samuel DE Champlain (1567?-1635) was a French explorer and navigator who mapped much of northeastern North America and started a settlement in Quebec0. Champlain also discovered the lake named for him and was important in establishing and administering the French colonies in the New World. The most important honor he ran for his country is he sat up the Quebec and found the Lake Champlain.


2. What is his relationship with Canada? Why is he important to Canada?
CHAMPLAIN is very important. Because he sat up Quebec, a province in Canada which has the most population of France. He became known as the father of New France, which was the French part of Canada. He also made a map of New France and the relationship of Iroquois.

3. When did he explore? What was happening during history at this time?
He started explore in Mar,15th, 1603. After he find Quebec, in 1629 . Quebec was captured by the English and Champlain was taken to England as a prisoner. He made a map of St.Lawrence River after returned to France. Between France and Iroquois, they sell fur trades during that history time.








4. Where did he explore? Find a map to help you answer this question. Post the map here and then explain.



The first place Champlain arrived is Quebec, Canada. He sat up the city. Then, he went to explored New France and discovered a city. He named it Huron. He traveled to Ottawa river later. After that, he gave a explain of an area called "North Sea", which people wanted him to found. Then he returned to Saint-Marlo. The native people against Iroquois with the helps Champlain gave them. Finally, Champlain found Ni pissing.



5. Why did he explore? What were his reasons for exploration?


After his trip to North America, he found all of new ways that Cartier found and explore by himself several times ago. He moved deeply and want to further his exploration. He was sure that he can get more progress than Cartier. He promised with the king of France to have a discover the mysteries that no one found before. The reason for exploration of Champlain is just like Cabot's and Cartier's. They just want to follow the explorers who got success before and achieve more values by themselves.


6. How did he explore? What transportation methods did he use?

He and his solders used both boats and ships during they traveled to Tadoussac. After that, they went to Quebec by only boats. They left their ships. Champlain may had a really hard time for exploration. Because he travel for a very long time on foot! Imagine how drowsy he was! It was a great changeling for common people like us. Although it was hard, he never give up or come back. He got a real success.
